Ozark Wildcat is Up and Running!

The outside of the park pictures look great you two! I had one question though.. What is that orange fence that suddenly popped up this week surrounding Wildcat? When I was there last Sunday, that fencing was not there...
And were there any pieces for the 'Jackrabbit' popping up anywhere?

Oh Jim, there wasn't any confusion. I was just being mistaken for the Hulk because I was green with envy. :) Oh well, I will be there soon enough. Did you guys get plans finalized for the media day? I would sure like to go if I am able to (I have the day off and well...)

Just a head's up. MiG will be offline for awhile. Alex is switching servers for his site and the two of us are parting forces. MiG will have it's own server soon and that will take a little while to set up. Once again, I'm sorry, but this needs to happen.

Great pics, Wolgamuth!

The eyes on the Cat's trains look kind of... ugly. They seem to take away from the classicness of them.

But who cares? The ride's going to be amazing. I can't wait to go (hopefully late May or early June)!!

Am I really that shy?

Damn straight. haha. Great pics though!!
That Laser/Water/firework/ect. (haha) show looks like it is going to be a stong side to the park. That backdrop is gigantic!!

I can't believe how large that backdrop is - this is going to be one cool show. Here's a question. Why did Bonfante sell some of their trees to SDC? I thought that is what Bonfante was supposed to be "known" for. If they are selling them off - it won't be just "them" having "them".

Forgot to mention that Jeff Mast took the photos in the park. Got to give credit where credit is due.
As far as the trees go, maybe Bonfante Gardens sells trees and horticulture 'stuff' (for lack of a better word).

Great photos Jeff, even though you dont read this! haha.
So is the CC media day the weekend of Easter?!

Bill, Media day is May 9th - a lot later than Easter Weekend. Oh, and yeah we're pretty excited about our own address. I've learned it's a lot handier to have your own server than to use someone else's.

For some reason, my thread keeps getting deleted - I guess one of the mods thinks it's a TOS violation. Whatever. However Orbiter is now up and the "rock wall" is getting huge. I took some pictures to show. Also the old BUSA entrance is looking more like a "Route 66" building. The pics are where they normally are.

Swoosh - I suspect that you'd do better posting updates in the news section. I've seen updates for Scream, the Supermen, and other coasters as news items, I suspect that's why your topics are being deleted.

Well I would, but Jeff hasn't update the link to my new address, it still has the old one listed. SO - until he does that, or whomever is in charge of doing that, I really can't. Granted I have emailed them to do so, but I figured that they are just busy and haven't had time - that or they don't want to take the time. either/or, the old address is still there.

Do you guys know why they poured asphalt in the middle of the final helix of Wildcat?

Bill, I'm not sure why they poured asphalt in there, unless it is to help make it more conveniant to work there - should they need to?!?!?

Bill, can you go to WOF this Saturday? The MiG crew will be there.
